Didn't get to much done today but I got the front axle primed and rebuilt the hubs and played with my tires some..







Then I was determined to get the chevys put on the rear, and that I did. Managed to leave the shop right at 1 am. Took forever doing it myself, and only weighing a 155 its not the easiest thing moving the rear axle into place.

But besides that, I got my welder working and laid down some healthy tacks, not the best penetration with my cheap 125, but I plan to trailer it to a buddys so I can use his welder and finish everything off. I think the shackle angle should work out perfectly and judging by the looks of things I'm pretty sure I got alignment right.

Also managed to get the final coat on the front axle.

Enjoy the pics.. (sorry for the blurring ones, I was tired lol)
